Our life insurance combines a savings portion with risk insurance. You put aside 3rd pillar savings to use after you retire. If anything happens to you, your family members will enjoy financial protection thanks to the guaranteed death benefit. You can also choose to add insurance for loss of earning capacity, premium exemptions or additional lump-sum benefits.
To ensure your loved ones are financially secure.

Saving under pillar 3a
We’ll pay your premiums into a pillar 3a pension. Pillar 3a is a tied pension. This means you will normally only be able to access pillar 3a savings when you retire. However, it allows you to deduct your premiums from your taxable income, which means you’ll pay less annual tax. This makes a pillar 3a pension perfect for saving for your old age.
Good to know
Pillar 3a has strict rules concerning the order in which beneficiaries will be paid any funds in the event of the insured person’s death.
Saving: Flexible and without limits
Unrestricted access to your savings
Saving for major investments
Limited scope for tax savings
Free choice of beneficiaries
Saving under pillar 3b
We’ll pay your premiums into a pillar 3b pension. Pillar 3b is a flexible pension. That means you can be very flexible with your savings and access your funds at any time. Pillar 3b is a great option for building savings for a bigger investment.
Good to know
Life insurance is suitable to many different people and in many different circumstances. However, it is particularly important for parents, young families and young couples. We recommend that you take out life insurance if, for example, you are the main bread winner and you want to optimally protect your family against risks. It’s also an excellent way to save and build up pension capital.
Unit-linked combined life insurance is insurance that contains both a savings portion and risk insurance. So for example, you are insured against the risks of death or loss of earnings capacity while simultaneously saving in pillar 3a or 3b. Our life insurance is exactly this type of combined life insurance.
If you would prefer to insure against risk without a savings portion, you can choose from two risk insurances – death benefits insurance and income protection insurance.
You can take out pillar 3a or 3b life insurance. This allows you to build up savings capital and profit from tax advantages.
The age at entry and final age applies to women and men:

This depends on whether you’re taking out death benefits insurance as part of a pillar 3a or 3b account. If as part of pillar 3b, you can name anyone you like. This could be a cohabiting partner or even an organisation.

Yes, our life insurance is optimally suited to protecting and paying back your mortgage. That means you can pledge your insurance policy as collateral with us or your bank (pledging). When an insurance policy is pledged, the contract serves as a guarantee for paying off the mortgage loan indirectly.
Yes, that is possible and depends on whether you’re taking out life insurance as part of a pillar 3a or 3b account:
Pillar 3a
Pillar 3b
You can terminate your policy from the second insurance year onwards, i.e. as soon as you have paid the premium for one full year. Any excess premiums paid will be reimbursed. Please note that if you cancel your insurance before three years have passed, you could lose money. That’s why we recommend that you cancel – if at all – after having the policy for at least three years.
In essence, after three years. This is because after three insurance years have passed, the insurance has a surrender value – provided the premiums were paid for the entire three years. If that is the case, you can surrender your life insurance or stop paying your premiums. Our life insurance policy allows you to withdraw your saved capital on preferential terms.
